My sister has only just recieved a letter saying that she didn't get in. She has 100% attendance, really good grades and never gets into trouble. Questions like that were asked during the interview. The year before I tried to get into Notre Dame but again I failed. Can anyone think of reasons why both of us did not get in? Many people who frequently get into trouble and are generally pricks got in.

We did have an interview. We don't do much extra curicular activities but why should that affect your chances of getting into a 6th form college?

All you have to do is look at their website and there's an 'extracurricular' tab. I'd say it was a pretty big part of the college. Plus their pictures show lots of activities which aren't necessarily curriculum based.

Unlike universities, 6th form colleges like to see that you do extra curricular activities. I was asked about mine in all my 6th form interviews. The college will want someone who wants to get involved in college life by joining clubs.

Not all 6th Form's are like that. We do have a bit of extra-curricular, but we're not pressured into joining. And and for interviews, we didn't even have one!
